Purpose
This application program enables you to
determine the diameter of round wires
and metallic filaments.  This program 
is used, for example, to determine the
diameter of filaments for light bulbs.
You can use density determination in
combination with a program chosen
from Application 2 (checkweighing,
time-
controlled functions) and Application 3
(totalizing, formulation, statistics).
Features
– Input and changing of individual data
after pressing 
Param. soft key
– Identifier 1 
Text1
(20 characters max.)
– Identifier 2 
Text2
(20 characters max.)
– Density of the sample, 
RhoWt
(0.01 to 50.,0 g/cm
3
; 
Factory setting = 8.0 g/cm
3
)
– Length of the sample in millimeters
(range = 0.1 to 99999 mm)
– Number of decimal places for the dia-
meter result (0 –7; factory setting = 3)
– Input of the density and length of the
sample directly using the numeric keys 
When this program is active, the 
following information is displayed 
in the text line:
– Data record name (if you have selected
the “Product data memory” function)
– Density of the sample 
RhoWt
– Length in millimeters mm
– The calculated diameter result is indi-
cated by the “mm” ID 
– Automatic initialization of this applica-
tion when the power is turned on and
loading of the stored data record, pro-
vided that all data were entered, and
automatic power-on initialization, pro-
vided this has been selected in the Setup
menu (Setup: Application parameters:
Auto-start application when power goes
on: Yes)
The start page is skipped and the diam-
eter determination program is then
immediately activated.
– Extra function “Product data memory”:
up to 300 data records can be saved for
the diameter determination program
(for additional functions, please see
page 113)
– Press c to end diameter 
determination
